I was walking on the coast path today and went across a stone single arch bridge over a narrow stream near the cliff. Part of old 'tin stamps' worked by water - which may have partly channelled the natural stream. 110

cornwallhistory.bsky.social @cornwallhistory.bsky.social · 07/10/2026There are 4 times as many pensioners in poverty as pensioners who are higher rates tax payers. The purpose of the triple lock is to increase pensions. Many women pensioners lost 6 years money when age was raised. I support properly funded NCS like NHS for people all ages, and better funded pensions. 031
cornwallhistory.bsky.social @cornwallhistory.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Who receives money they don't need from the welfare budget? Higher and additional rate tax payers who claim the state pension. In effect get a 100% tax rebate on first £62K income. Removing that in England & Wales would raise £13.2 Billion = £1K for every current state pensioner. 1/2 100
